SA Terminal Island Hosted Port of Los Angeles High School Students

Last week SA Terminal Island hosted fifty-five Port of Los Angeles High School (www.polahs.net) students for their annual environmental field trip where they learned about recycling on a grand scale. In four separate groups they were shown the shredder, dock, different type of metal piles, and participated in classroom instruction on the recycling industry and careers. It is certain that the students walked away with a good understanding of what it means to recycle every piece of metal, what we do at the MRP and with ASR, what it means to the economy, and what careers may be available for them when they graduate in several years. Hats off to the employees that assisted in the tour.
